Good to know that when we finally get round to organising our own festival, endainoz has the venue sorted.

I may or may not have some insider info on this one. AMP are looking to do a festival in Ireland this summer and was approached about hosting it on my farm last September.

Ultimately they didn't go any further with me unfortunately, but they had two other venues in mind, one was Ennis and the other was Westport.

This may not be related at all but it could be!

Ennis would be dead handy for me, around Dromoland castle would be brilliant.

I would hope that it leads to fests becoming more creative with lineups and also changing up their arenas more often.

I see some nice lineups in the UK.

Could also help bring down the price of tickets too with fests being competetitive.

Yea the UK have some decent smaller festivals that we could copy from who aim for the rock/indie/alternative

We must be heading for festival saturation at this stage, no?

Guess not if they see a demand! EP has expanded over the years but Oxegen gone. There's probably more smaller festivals alright. I'd say this will be a 10,000 or thereabouts yoke

It's going to be nice to have two different lineups to fawn over on wens.

reckon The Black Keys may be on the lineup.

As we're 3 months out possibly,

I'm going to guess it's a non camping fest which will also have day tickets.

I reckon it'll be 2 day.

Something on the scale of 1 main stage with one smaller stage for smaller acts. Similar to their community festival/live at finsbury gigs.

Dublin

Yeah think that would make sense. Have a feeling it's not a camping festival.

Clever he's using sold-out EP line-up to get buzz going for new festival

That is the same weekend as all points east festival in Victoria Park London. Lineup includes the strokes, chemical brothers, bon ivor and Christina and the Queen

That's over a few weekends afaik. Think only Bon Iver playing June bank hol weekend. https://www.allpointseastfestival.com/

Yeah was wondering was there gonna an overlap here with APE gigs but doesn't look to be really. Think promoters like to split up acts to get better bang for their buck.

Could this be it?

An application has been received on Thursday, 28th February 2019 in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council for the holding of an outdoor event at Dún Laoghaire Pier, Dún Laoghaire, Co Dublin

The application is for a proposed series of concerts to be held on Friday, 31st May 2019, Saturday, 1st June and Sunday 2nd June 2019

Couldn't be:

"The stunning location of this new festival has never before been used"

Whereas Dun Laoghaire harbour definitely has been. Unless they're being really sneaky and meaning the East or West piers, but then I can't even imagine how they'd fit anything worthwhile onto either of those (and not have it be a health and safety nightmare).

Is that when Madness are playing?

Playing Limerick the 31st and Waterford 2nd June so possibly. Don't think it's been officially announced yet if they are

Wow that is interesting news, has potential to be exciting or the exact opposite! Longitude seems to have the hip-hop market pretty sewn up. Probably will either be an all out dance music festival or a more indie/rock based festival considering EP and Longitude have had less of that music in recent years. Wonder what weekend it would be, surely end of summer if they haven't announced it yet.

Corm said somewhere in the west coast, so it would have to be narrowed down to the counties Galway, Roscommon and Mayo.

He speculated, nothing concrete to date.

Could very well be.

Think it has to be something more than an empty field if they're selling it as a ''stunning location/'' Thinking it will be something like ATN's location but can't think of where tbh

True , so will probably be an estate or castle somewhere?

I predict early July to tie in with Glasto/start of euro fest touring season.

Or late july to tie in with Latitude.

I'm going to guess it's going to be no more than 45min away from the capital.
